More about the webcam
images
The Met Office webcam network is currently being upgraded to
utilise the latest low-light cameras to deliver usable imagery
in very low-light conditions. See an example of moonlight
at Trawscoed.
Clicking on a camera site displayed on the map will open up a
page displaying the most recent images available from that site,
and the latest observations of temperature, pressure, visibility,
wind and weather (if available). If you have viewed the page before
it may be necessary to hold down the SHIFT key whilst clicking
the reload/refresh button on your browser in order to obtain the
most up to date series. Click on the graph icon at the bottom
of the page to see time-series graphs of observation data for
the last 24 hours.
The cameras are programmed to scan every 30 minutes and record
images every 52°. Scans are made at elevations of 0°, 45°, and
90° - thus a series of images, covering the celestial dome, is
collected.
Hyperlinks are set at 51°, 154°, 206° and 309° on the thumbnail
presentation which, when selected, open up a 156° 'sector' of
the globe.
The field of view of each camera is approximately 60° and overlaps
between thumbnail images are apparent - hence, it is possible
for the same area to be visible in possibly four adjoining images.
For this reason the series of thumbnails should strictly be considered
as an index, rather than a panorama.
Clicking on any of the thumbnails will enlarge that image for
closer scrutiny.
